MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELTE O'CLOCK. A moderate amount of business is reported in discount circles at the new rate of 9 per cent., and capitalists out of doors are not at all anxious to engage in extensive operations even at this elevated figure. At the same time the mercantile public are loth to pay so much for the temparary use of money, and consequently limit their discount en gagements es far as practicable. Opinion seems divided as to whether the measure now adopted will initiate a return to what mey be considered an average quotation, many inclining to the belief that a still higher point will yet be attained. The return issued last evening by the Bank of Eagland authorities shows to what pressure the establishment has been subjected, and how nec es . nary was the measure adopted yesterday by the directors. While, however, the bullion has been diminished, it is satisfactory to notice that it has been withdrawn for circulation throughout the United Kingdom, and that very little h as b een taken for exportation. Subjoined are the peal. milers : Active Circulation .. Increase .. Bullion .. Decrease Rest .. Increase .. .. •• Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits.. Decrease .. Seven Day and other Bills ..

The bullion allows an increase of £66,700, and the Treasury balances of £106,700. An unsatisfactory change is the addition of £BO,OOO to the discounts, but a falling off has occurred in the advances to the extent of £40,000, and the notes in circulation have been lessened by £620,000, and the current accounts by £186,700. •• •• Two o'CLocx. The French Rentes were this morning, according shi to Mr, Reuter's telegram, 66f. 67c. The Stock Exchange Markets to-day have pre. si seated a very inactive appearance, and quotations generally remain without much alteration. In fact, monetary affairs absorb the principal attention, ii and while so much uncertainty exists, operators ti seem afraid to enter into heavy engagements. The English Funds have continued at their former 4 values, and Consols are 87 1, for money, and 874 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced St Annuities are 854 4 ; India 5 per Cents., 1034, 104, and Enfaced 54 p er C ents, 110.si In the For e i gn M arket there is very little 1 business, 1 , and prices c on ti nue to drop.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have been limited, and prices have generally exhi. s a t t , bited further depression. South Eastern have receded £110x; Great Eastern, and Lancashire and ii Yorkshire, each Ll ; Brighton, North Western, and I Midland, each 100 ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and a' Lincoln, ss. el The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without ~ change of importance.

London and St. Katharine, 69 The Blowing up of a Federal Monitor by a Torpedo. Some of the survivors of the Federal Monitor Tecumseh supply the New York papers with the following account of the blowing up of the vessel by a Confederate torpedo in Mobile harbour :—" On the morning of the sth of August the signal was made by the flagship Hartford to the whole fleet to advance on the rebel Fort Morgan, the Monitor Tecumseh taking the lead. We fired two shells at the fort when we were a mile off. The guns were then reloaded with solid 15-inch shot and a charge of 45 pounds of powder. We did not fire more than the two shells at the fort, but were reserving our next broadside for the rebel ram Tennessee. When about abreast of Fort Morgan the order was given to go ahead at full speed. Our gallant captain's intention was to butt the ram, and fire the two solid shot at the same time ; but ere he could give the order to revolve the turret, a torpedo (or infernal machine) exploded under us, causing the water to rush up into the berth deck and turret chamber, where nothing but confusion and despair reigned. The guns' crews and those that were in the pilot-house succeeded in getting out before she settled down beneath the waves. We had three boats towing alongside, two of which were immediately filled, both were swamped. We succeeded in cutting the painter of the third one, and commenced to pall as best we could for the fleet. We succeeded in picking up two of our officers (Mr Langley and Mr Cottrell). After pulling for an hour we reached one of our small tug boats near Sand Island, from which we were transferred to this ship. As far as we can learn, there have been 12 more of our comrades saved; eight are in the fleet in the bay, and four are prisoners in Fort Morgan. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL' S--THURSDAY. Poasibly the announcement on Thursday morning that the subscription room would be opened on Saturday for comparing on the St. Leger, and business as usual, had its effect upon the attendance to-day—numerically, fo smaller muster on the Thursday before the Leger we never recollected seeing before. There was little or no betting, and the momentary instalment of Blair Athol as first favourite for the Leger may IT attributed as much to caprice, or the complexion of certain " books," as to anything that may have transpired to throw any additional light upon the merits of the Spring Cottage favourite. The bnly trans actions that took place were to small amounts, as follows ST.

A youth named Brown, a clerk in an office in Mincing lane, was placed at the bar charged with being concerned with another youth, now under sentence of seven years' penal servitude for forging and uttering a cheque for £350, with intent to defraud the City Bank. From the evidence it appeared that Harding, who was a clerk to Mr Watts, a metal broker in St. Helen's, Bishops gate, was, at the Juno sessions of the Central Criminal Court, convicted of forging and uttering the cheque for £350. The cheque was presented by a commissionaire, but it was discovered to be a forgery, and in consequence of the statement made by the presentee of the cheque Harding was taken into custody and convicted. Since he had been convicted he had made a communication to Mr Mullins, the solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Society, which implicated the prisoner Brown, and accordingly last night he was apprehend6tl On a warrant issued by the bankers. It transpired during the present examination that the cheques had been stolen by Harding from the cheque book of his master, and that they had afterwards been given to Brown, as Mr Watts had recei ve d f rom B rown ' s f a th er several other blank cheques, forming part of the number stolen, one of which had been filled up for £4OO, but not presented. On the officer going to Brown's residence last night, the former said he knew all about the forgeries, but he denied positively that he was to have any of the money. Application was made to admit the prisoner to bail, but The Lord Mayor refused to accede to the request, and he remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OMNIBUS ROBBERY.—Mary M'Leary was charged be fore Mr Knox with sieal!ng from the person of Salina Lang dill, of 21, Abbey-road, St. John's-wood, a purse contain ing postage stamps, &c. Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner, and Mr Hayward, from Mr Beard's office, watched the case, as also did Mr Richards (one of the directors), on the part of the Atlas and Waterloo Om nibus Association. The evidence having been given, Mr Lewis addres'sed the magistrate on the prisoner's be half, stating that he was instructed that she was only re cently from Scotland, and that although she had been seen by constables from the different divisions, eke was not known to any of them. Mr Knox said he would consent to take the prisoner's plea if she thought proper to plead before him, but if he did so he would at once state that she would undergo the full penalty, as the misery inflicted by omnibus thieves was incalculable. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for six months with hard labour, A BOY CHARGED 'WITH UTTERING A FORGED CHEQUE.—Henry Wells, about 13 years of age, in the employ of Mr Moseley, upholsterer, of Berners-street, was charged before Mr Knox with endeavouring to obtain the sum of £lO by means of a forged cheque. Mr Henry Richard Mackie, draper, of 30, Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, deposed that, on Wednesday morn ing, the prisoner called at his shop and asked him to change a cheque for £lO for Mrposeley. He told the prisoner to take it back and get it (Wed and endorsed, and the prisoner did so, and in the evening called for the money. He told the prisoner that he would send the money round to Mr Moseley, and did so, when he found that the signature and endorsement upon the cheque, both purporting to be Mr Moseley's, were forged. In answer to Mr Knox, _ _ _ Mr Mackie said he knew the prisoner to be in the employ of Mr Moseley, who was a customer of his, and the prisoner had been for change before. He had seen Mr Moseley that morning before coming to the court, and he would retain the prisoner in his employ if his worship would let him off and discharge him. Mr Knox said that as they had thought proper to bring the prisoner before him, he must do his duty. The matter was one which, under any circumstances, ought to be in quired into, as probably the boy was in tho hands of some. body else. Mr Mackie stated that it was Mr Moseley who had given the buy int) custody for endeavouring to obtain the monoy. Mr Knox said if it had been for endeavouring to obtain monoy the prisoner should have b3en taken on a warrant, but it was uttering a forged cheque, Police-constable Thos. Maguire, 58 E, said be was sent for to Moseley's and the prisoner given into his custody, when he said that he had taken the cheque out of the oheque-book on Tuesday and forged it on Wednesday. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner for a week for the at tendance of Mr. Moseley, to prove the signature to the cheque to be a forgery. WESTMINSTER. MYSTERIOUS Loss OF A. VALUABLE GOLD WATCH, Edward Thorpe, a respectable looking young man, wal placed at the bar charged with stealing a gold watch, value £3O, and appendages. Mrs Eliza Banniok, of 5, Rose- terrace, Fulham-road, said that she accused the prisoner of stealing her watch and ap pendages, because nobody else could have taken them. He was employed to clean the windows, and so had access to the property, which had been left in a drawer. Mr Selfe—How did the prisoner know that you had a watch in that drawer. Mrs Banniok—He was there cleaning the windows in his dinner hour, and having said that he thought it was grow ing late, and he must come in the evening to finish his work, I took the watch out of the drawer, and looking at it told him the time, and then replaced it in his presence. Mr. Selfe—When did you miss it ? Mrs Bannick—l went to the drawers again at 5 o'clock, and then I missed my watch and appendages. A loose key belonging to the watch was lying on the mat where I had it. At half-past 6 the prisoner came to finish the windows. I allowed him to go upstairs, and then sent for a constable and gave him into custody for stealing it. I said to him, "You have stolen my watch." He replied. "You took the watch out to show me, after which you put it round your neck." That was not true, I assure you, for I replaced it in the drawer after I had told the prisoner the time. Prisoner—You will excuse me, madame, but you did not put it in the drawer. I saw you fling the chain round your neck, and you left the room to speak to a lady. Mr Sdlfe—Did you know anything of the prisoner be fore ? Mrs Bannick—No ; but he was recommended by a re spectable person. Prisoner—l am a respectable man, and it can be proved. I have worked for three years for Mr Larken in the Ful ham-road. I began the drawing-room windows, and was then called up to the young lady's bed-room windows, and there she looked at the watch and told me the time, after which she put it round her neck, as I have stated. I de clare to God that I never touched the watch, and know nothing about it. I was never locked up in my life before, and I can receive the best of characters. Mr Selfe—At what time do you consider the accused must have taken the watch I' Mrs Bannick —Directly after I replaced it in the drawer. I loft the room to speak to a lady, leaving the prisoner in the room at the time. Mr Selfe—Who else had access to the room between that and the time you missed your watch? Mrs Bannick—Nobody. I looked the door directly after the prisoner loft, at about two o'clock, and kept the key in my pocket until I missed the watch. Mr Selfe—. Was the drawer in which you kept it looked ? Mrs Bannick—No, it was not. The room door being locked, was considered sufficient. Mr Selfe—Who else was there in the house ? Mrs Bannick—Only a charwoman, who never went into that room, and the owners of the house, who occupy the second floor. Prisoner (to prosecutrix)—You may depend upon it, you are mistaken, madame. You put the watoh round your neck. Mr Selfe—Are you sure you did not do so ? Mrs B tnnick—Quito sure. Mr Selfo—l suppose you sometimes wear it. 'When is that? Mrs Bannick—On Sundays, or if I went to a concert or anything of that sort. The lady's niece—l am certain that my aunt did not wear the watch. A young woman engaged ae a charwoman at the house at the time said she had her dress body oft, and could not have worn it. Mr Selre said it was an extraordinary affair, and the police must make a strict examination of the premises. I4e must detain the accused, but would take brit in £3O for his appearance on a future day. A SPORTSMAN BIT BY AN ADDER.—A few days ago, while Mr. Arthur J. Wigram was deer stalking on hie shootings at Sconser, Syke, ho knelt to take aim at a stag, and in doing so placed his knee on an adder, which stung him on the leg. He suffered seriously from the effects of the bite, but is uow recovering.—. Edinburgh Courant. An Imperial establishment has just been founded at Odessa under the nawe of the University of New Russia and which is to replace the College Richelieu. There will be three faculties, one of history and philosophy, another of natural philosophy and raathematiu, and the third of law.) An Austrian Love Story. A new species of the truly inexhaustible genius of matrimonial suits has recently turned up in a case tried and decided in Vienna. In the house of one Herr Hahne, a teacher of languages, Dr. Kant, a young lawyer, happened to make the acquaintance of a lady, burdened with some property and thirty years. The lady, being unmarried, evinced parti cular interest in the young, shy, and rather abashed man of law. She talked a great deal with him in company, preferred him in the dance, and ended with inviting him to her house. Dr. Kant, who, as the unhappy lover of another girl, was not par ticularly inclined to pay visits, at first did not comply with the courteous request of the fair, but, seeing her again at a friend's, and her invitation being repeated, at length allowed himself to become a habitue of her and her mother's hospitable house. It appears that the lady waited for several months for him to " pop the question ;" until, getting weary of his melancholy mein and indescribable reserve, she resolved to open a way for her retiring Adonis to propose, or retreat for ever. One evening when the doctor, according to his wont, was sitting opposite her tabouret, conversation — accidentally, of course—turned on marriage, and the happiness of harmonising souls, Dr. Kant pic% tured the fetters of Hymen in rosy colours; the face of the lady brightened, and with a palpitating heart she put the question—" With your favourable idea of matrimony, may I ask if you ever thought of marrying yourself ?" Dr. Kant sighed, and, his eyes resting on the ground, hesitatingly muttered in reply—" I have already thought of marrying, and made my choice, but--" "But !" the lady hastily interposed. " But," he continued, " the lady is rich, very rich, and lam poor. lam afraid I can hardly aspire to her hand, and rather than allow myself to be taxed with sordid designs, I will bury my passion in my brenst, and leave it unavowed for ever." A short pause ensued. Both parties were embarrassed, and the doctor rose to take his hat and leave the lady at an unusually early hour. Miss Martini bade him good evening in a friendly and cordial way, without, however, adding another word on the subject of their conversation. At an early hour of the following day she, however, betook herself to a solicitor, and, in legal form, declared her wish to present and hand over as his sole property the sum of 150,000 gulden (£15,000) to Dr. Kant. When the document had been signed, counter signed, and duly completed, she sat down in the office, and enclosing it in an elegant envelope, added a note to the following effect : " Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure in enclosing a paper, which I hope will remove the obstacle in the way of your mar riage.—Believe me, &0., ALICE MARTINI." Dr. Kant, for he and no other was the addressed, was the happiest man in the world on receiving this generous epistle. But alas! that he should bave put a different construction on it to that expected. Repairing at once to the parents of Fraulein Fischel, the lady of his love, be proposed for and received the hand of a girl who had long been flat tered by his delicate though unavowed attentions. His reply to Fraulein Martini, besides conveying his sincerest thanks, containe d two cartes de visite, linked together by the s i gn ificant rose coloured ribbon. Miss Martini fortnwith sued the happy bridegroom for restitution ; but as no promise of marriage had been made, the case was by two sue. cessive courts decided against her. BEGGING LETTER WRITERS......These are the eon porate beggars.

The secretary learns too that confidence between man and wife would seem to obtain but rarely when virtue is in distress, so numerous are the wives who take up their pens to ask Mr Boffin fcr money without the knowledge of their devoted husbands, who would never permit it ; wh il e , on the other hand, so numerous are the husbands who take up their pens to ask Mr Boffin for money without the knowledge of their devoted w yes, who would instantly go out of their senses if they had the least suspicion of the circumstance .

They were sitting, only yesterday evening, musing over a fragment of candle which must soon go out and leave them in the dark for the rest of their nights, when surely some angel whispered the name of Mr Nicode mus Boffin, Esq., to their souls, imparting rays of hope, nay confidence, to which they had long been str angers .

ACCIDENT AT DOVER.—Last night a lady named Miss Hall, on a visit to Dover, fell over the pier—a 30 feet fall—into 2or 3 feet water. She was immediately taken up and conveyed to the Sailors' Home.:She i 3 not, it is hoped, seriously hurt, AQUATICS. THE THOUGHT AND THE TORPID. The sailing match between these two cutters over the regatta course of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club inside the Isle of Wight was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday by the Torpid winning two days' races in succession. The . _ wind was from the same quarter—W. by S.—as on the pre- ceding day, but less violent, although still a good full sailing breeze for a first-class sized yacht. Two tons of ballast, which had been taken from her previously to her sailing on the previous day, were again returned to her be fore starting onWednesday, and this, together with(we must say it, although unwillingly) the superior manner in which she was handled as compared with her management of the previous day, greatly improved her rate of going both in running befora the wind and in turning to windward. Ac cording to the original programme agreed upon by the owners of the two yachts, the course for the second day was to have been round the Isle of Wight, bat owing to the boisterous state of the weather, this was altered to a second course—round the Victoria Club course. At 10 49 the preparatory gun was fired, and the starting gun five minutes afterwards, when both were got off very smartly, the Thought a trifle to windward, but the Torpid leading, each with a reef down in their mainsails. The Thought's sails were beautifully set, and the little vessel looked fit to race for a man's life. The Torpid's greater area of canvass, however, and the position of the wind—the latter enabling the vessels to lay their course to the buoy of the middle without a tack, was all in the Torpid's favour, and she soon gave evidence of fore• leaching her antagonist, but the distance was too short to give any great difference. In nearing the buoy the Thought sent up her topmast, and was followed by the Torpid. The buoy was tacked round by the Torpid at llh 33m 20s, and by the Thought at llh 34m 108. Jib-headed topsails and balloon forsails were now set, as sheets were eased off in the run up before the wind on the back of the tide to the eastward. The Thought's top sail was set very badly from some course,but off Ryde a hand was sent aloft, and improved matters. In passing the No man buoy the Thought was 78 seconds astern, and had therefore lost 28 seconds in her run down from the buoy of the middle, no great loss in a contest with a vessel that was evidently greatly superior in power, and sailing under cir cumstances the most favourable to her. The wind came fresh out of Brading Harbour, and both craft. dowsed their topsails and sent down topmasts, preparatory to tacking round the Nab, which was tacked round as follows : Torpid .. 12h. 42re. ss. Thought .. .. 12 42 Ms. The Thought thus gained on her rival in the distance between the Nom an and the Nab what she had lost between the Noman and the buoy of the middle. The little craft certainly stood up under her sails in tho freshened breeze out of Brading harbour better than the Torpid, and went along gloriously. From the Nab back to the Noman, close hauled, the Thought continued her overhaul on her rival, decreasing her time behind to only 37 seconds. The Thought continued her work handsomely, when the Aid steam tug, from Southampton, with a party on board, was placed by her master on the Thought's weather bow, hung there for some time in seeming ignorance of the mischief he was doing, and threw the Thought back considerably in the race, doubling nearly her distance astern of the Torpid. Under the Ryde Sand both vessels made several tacks in shore. The Torpid stood in further than the Thought, but the latter stood far enougn apparently to fetch the buoy of the middle, and then with sound judgment she was laid fairly for it with the tide under her lee. In opening Cowes Roads the wind headed them and gave the Torpid an advantage from her weather position, the buoy being tacked round only 65 seconds apart, as follows : 2h. 2m. Os. Torpid Thought 2 2 65 Topsails and balloon foresails were now again set for the run eastward to the Nab, the Thought this time sending up her square-headed topsail. Running past Ryde the Thought had decreased her distance astern to 33 seconds. In running over the sand inside the buoy the Thought boomed out her foresail, but made a mess of it, and had to bring it back to the stay. She was drawing fast on the Torpid, and the latter on closing the Noman boomed out her foresail. In passing theNoman the Thought was only 22 seconds behind, having gained 11 seconds from R y de Roads, and in complet ing her run to the Nab she gaided still further, for she tacked round only 10 seconds astern, and shot round clear on the Torpid's weather. In tacking round the light ship, however, she unfortunately carried away her jibtack, and the jib had to be got in and the damage repaired. She was winning the ' race at the time hand-over-hand, was standing up like a c hurch under her canvas compare d with her opponent, and looked a winner all over. In standing up close hauled for the Noman the Thought's topmast was sent up, and her jib-headed topsail set, but the accidental carrying away of her jibtack had reduced the chance of her winning the race to a minimum point. The Torpid had as much as she could manage without a topsail, but the old Thought carried hers gloriously. At 4h 3m 20s both vessels tacked under the eat end of Stokes Bay, and stood in for Rydo Roads, the ought to windward, but necessarily astern, and her top sail shaking fearfully,aud now doing more harm than good. Ryde Roads was fetched, and the goal reached, the Torpid winning by 45 seconds only, and the Thought evidently losing the race solely owing to the conduct of the master of the Aid steamtug in getting on the Thought's weather bow at a most critical point in the race, aid the unfortunate accident to the Thought's jibtack at the Neb. The designer of the Torpid, Mr M'Cormack, of the firm of Mcssrs.Sum mers and Day, of Southampton—stay well congratulate himself on being the builder of a cutter that should beat such a famous vesel as the Thought, although the victory was won, in sporting parlance, by a duke. Mr Seldon, as the owner of the Torpid, and winner, takes both vessels and £2OO stakes.' Thus ended a cutter race which, in its second day's sport, for the closeness with which it was contested, and its ac companying interest, is unparalleled in the annals of yacht ing. The result may be briefly summed up thus :—ln 15 years the progress in the tate of improvement in yacht building is exactly three seconds per year over a course of about 65 miles, making allowance for the distance gone over in turning to windward.

SHIELDS, Thursday Morning. A fearful explosion took place last night in Seghill col liery, about 8 miles from this town. The colliery is situated in the heart of the steam coalfield and has exten sive workings. About 11 o'clock the night shiftmen were down the pit, and 18 hewers and timber leaders and rolley lads were employed at the workings in a remote part of the pit known as Far California, when the gas appears to have fired at some of their lights, the explosion tearing down the main rolley way, but fortunately meeting with a volume of fresh air at the cross cut it expended itself there without doing any more serious mischief. The pitmen Employed felt the shock of the explosion in other parts of the pit and flocked to the bottom of the shaft, where, as far as can bo ascertained, they were got to bank in a short time in safety. The intelligence that the pit had fired soon spread through the extensive village, and hundreds of persons flocked to the pit mouth in wild excitement. Mr Kettering, the head viewer, Mr Sanderson, the under viewer, and other officials, gathered together and descended the mine, and relays of men were set on to clear away the rabbish oc casioned by heavy falls from the roof in the main rolley way, which blocks up the passage to where the 18 men and lads are lying; but the pit at that part has been found to be very foul with chokedamp, several of the men so employed in clearing away the obstruction having been brought to bank ill. At the time our despatch left the working parties had not reached the lost men and lads, and they are all sup posed to be dead. Mr T. E. Foster, the consulting viewer to the coal trade, had arrived when our report was coming away, and the men were being sent to bank from Burtodon pit, which is connected with Seghill by a door, and when they are all to bank it will bo opened. The explosion has taken place in the low searu. The men wero mostly employed in the " broken," and that part of the colliery whore the explosion took place was considered somewhat fiery. The air was close in the early part of last night, and afterwards there were high winds. Some suppose that these atmos pheric conditions have had something to do with explosion. There is no doubt but that all the men who were working when the explosion occurred are dead. A father and son, named Mills, George Jackson, Robert Rutherford, Thomas Weatherburn, and a man named Dodds are among the lost. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Eleven men and lads have been got out of the pit alive. The following wore killed :—Richardson, Robinson, John Nayland, Henry Whitehouse, Thomas Heaps, W. Taylor, John Miller, and G. Jackson. The bodies have all been re covered this afternoon. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of home-grown wheat fresh up to our mar ket to-day were but moderate.
